macchiato city nights
[Verse 1]
Deep in the covers as the evening soaks
The bright milky light of the full moon
A new moon, Moon Two
Pierces the caffeinated shadows
"This is a dream," you'd say
If you could ever feel the words
But this is the city that never sleeps
That cannot sleep
And then you smell it
Burnt vanilla, ash, notes of infinite
As if to say, "It's alright
It's a beautiful night
And you're falling"
[Verse 2]
Every drive is a midnight drive
Windows down to taste the rain
Feel the chill, drink the air
To remind yourself that we will make it
The darkness isn't whole
It's full of holes
Every window light a local stain in the firmament
Dollops that whisper
"They can try, they can try to stop this deluge
But like hot water through grounds
We'll just pour right through"
